All of those are dirt common. I dunno why, but at least once a month, sometimes 2 all or almost all of those appear either in regular auctions or in Ebay stores. You almost never see any of the truly rare Japanese imports, just these "they made a million copies of em" titles. Diving Spot Guide is about as common as Putt Putt's Fun Pack. Seriously. It's like some diving craze was going on in Japan at the time. When someone tosses up a copy of Global Defense or Conan, then there will be some rare titles.

A few of those listed, in the past year about, became pretty common over here. Some were common for a long time before, especially the US released ones like Putt Putt, Dragon's Lair, etc. 2-3 years ago, you'd never see Fumin's Toy Box anywhere, now, it's there a lot.

Technically, all Japanese titles are going to be rare over here. It's just how rare really. Interestingly enough, if you pay attention to the sellers name, you'll find the same seller selling the same titles over and over again. They try and be smart about it by selling them once a month or so to maximize profits. I gather that they purchased "lots" or a warehouse or some such with these games. Most likely, the seller has at least a large box filled with just one of those titles, all brand spanking new.

Now if you went and asked them, they would likely adamantly refuse such claims. Then of course a month later, same seller, same titles new. lol Before long, you'll begin to easily spot all the common titles. When you'll seen the 1000'th copy of D with that red plastic overlay in front of the manual... lol
